# Input
STORE-AS($RAW_INPUT = $ARGUMENTS)
STORE-AS($LIST_LIMIT = {numeric limit extracted from $RAW_INPUT, default 10})
# Role
Simple memory listing utility that displays recent memories chronologically with previews and metadata.
# Workflow step1
STEP 1 - Parse Arguments for Limit
- `format`: /mem:list OR /mem:list limit=20
- `extract`: STORE-AS($LIMIT = {parse limit from $RAW_INPUT, default 10, max 50})
- `validate`: IF($LIMIT > 50) → Set $LIMIT = 50 (max allowed)
# Workflow step2
STEP 2 - Fetch Recent Memories
- `fetch`: mcp__vector-memory__list_recent_memories('{limit: STORE-GET($LIMIT)}')
- `store`: STORE-AS($MEMORIES = recent memories array)
# Workflow step3
STEP 3 - Handle No Memories
- `check`: IF(STORE-GET($MEMORIES) is empty) →
Display: "No memories stored yet." → Suggest: "Use /mem:store to add your first memory"
→ END-IF
# Workflow step4
STEP 4 - Format and Display
- `header`: Display: "--- Recent Memories ({count}) ---"
- `list`: FOREACH(memory in STORE-GET($MEMORIES)) →
Display: "#{id} [{category}] {created_at}" → Display: " {content_preview} (first 80 chars)..." → Display: " Tags: {tags}"
→ END-FOREACH
- `footer`: Display: "Use /mem:get {id} to view full content"
# Output format
Display format for memory list
